Luis Robert Jr. belts three-run HR as Mets down Pirates in 11

  • On Saturday at Citi Field, Luis Robert Jr. hit a three-run, walk-off home run in the 11th inning to give the New York Mets a 4-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
  • Starters Mitch Keller and David Peterson matched zeros in 42-degree weather, with Keller allowing just three singles and no walks in six innings as the Mets' longest-tenured player labored through the early innings.
  • Both teams struggled offensively; Pittsburgh finished 2 for 18 with runners in scoring position, while the Mets went 3-for-14 with runners in scoring position and left nine men on base.
  • The Pirates briefly led in the 11th after Brandon Lowe's RBI single, but reliever Richard Lovelady struck out Nick Gonzales with runners at the corners to preserve the opportunity for Robert's heroics.
  • Rookie right-hander Nolan McLean makes his season debut Sunday in the series finale, bringing a 5-1 record and 2.06 ERA to the mound for the Mets.
